assets of painting enslaved to a process of
vindicating the void? Can one only
contemplate with closed eyes? The subjects
of the paintings don't change their gaze but
don't they rather gaze back? The forbidden
gaze produces a disproportionate world in
which the question of the gaze's ownership
reverberates. There's no sight as dreadful as
fantasy. It doesn't set things in array but
rather in disarray, it's treacherous and
faithful, law abiding and transgressive. It's
not obligated to sight or to light and flickers
